UCLA has issued a call for papers on Historical Perspectives on Tax Law & Policy:

The UCLA School of Law and the UCLA Center for Economic History are soliciting submissions of papers for a conference on Historical Perspectives on Tax Law & Policy. The conference organizers seek to bring together leading scholars in the fields of law, history, political science, economics, and other related fields to consider the history of tax law and public finance. Relevant empirical, institutional and theoretical research will be considered. The conference will be held on July 16-17, 2007, at the UCLA School of Law in Los Angeles, California. Interested authors may submit either (i) a draft working paper, if available, or (ii) an abstract of the paper along with a brief but detailed description of the project. Submissions should be made by January 8, 2007.
